This is the anti-theft badge

Kazuya looked over,

In the sea of fire,

The little girl who had fallen to the ground pushed the man who was pressed under the wreckage,

She was young,

She was helpless,

And desperate.

He exerted strength under his feet and endured the pain of being licked by the flames as he passed through the sea of fire,

He came to the little girl's side and squatted down,

He probed the man's nose and sniffed. It was completely gone.

An inexplicable sadness arose in his heart. He endured the sadness because there were still people who needed him.

"Are you okay?" He took off his coat and covered the girl with it. He reached out his hands to hug the girl.

The little girl shook her head,

She held the man's hand and gave Kazuya a soft smile. "Big Brother, you were so handsome when you passed through the sea of fire just now,

You were super cool!

Like a hero! "

Kazuya's hands paused,

He pulled out a smile. "Thank you."

He..,

Was just an ordinary high school student.

"Big Brother, can you help me move the stone slab away?" The little girl's gaze and tone were pleading.

"... Okay."

Kazuya got up and used all his strength to finally move the stone slab away. The part of the man's body that was pressed down had already turned into meat paste.

He subconsciously covered the girl's eyes. Soon..,

A wet feeling came from his palm,

As well as a whimper.

The sound of rumbling explosions came from the sky,

Someone was fighting with a strange creature. Kazuya pursed his lips. As an ordinary person, he couldn't fight with that kind of monster, so he could only do what he could.

"Don't cry, I'll take you away..." Kazuya hugged the girl and wanted to take her away by force.

The little girl sniffed and said in a choked voice, "I don't want to go. Big Brother, you go. I'll stay here."

Her mother was gone, her father was gone, and that strange and oppressive monster in the sky... where could she escape to?

After saying that, she pushed Kazuya away forcefully and grabbed the man's hand with both hands. "Daddy's hand is so cold... Nainai will warm it for you."

She turned to look at Kazuya. "Big Brother's hair and eyes are very beautiful and warm..."

"Ah... I suddenly feel that the surroundings are not hot at all."

Boom —

A huge stone slab fell from the sky and hit the girl, pressing her down.

"…"

Kazuya crawled forward. Red and white things shot out from the bottom of the stone slab. The girl was crushed to the point where she couldn't be any worse.

A gust of wind with the smell of blood blew over. He lowered his head and allowed his tears to fall. The little girl did not let go of her father's hand even when she died.

Kazuya wiped his tears with his arm, stood up, and walked out of the sea of fire.

"What … It's still hot, super hot."

Relying on his senses, he found his sister.

At this moment, the pink-haired girl's body was almost transparent and was about to disappear. He hurriedly ran over, stumbling and almost falling.

Kazuya opened his mouth, but no words came out. He knelt down on one knee and extended his hands towards the girl who was about to disappear.

"Big brother … don't cry."

A gentle smile appeared on her face as she reached out to wipe away the tears on the boy's face. "I'm already very satisfied to be able to see Big Brother again before I leave … I'll leave Dad, Mom, and Little Brother in your care."

After saying that, the girl turned into specks of light and flew into the sky.

The sky became bright, and the sun's rays once again illuminated the earth. The wreckage on the ground told everyone what had happened here.

The boy who lived to sixteen finally couldn't help but cry. He wasn't a hero, he was a piece of trash. He couldn't do anything, and he couldn't save anyone.

The images stopped here, and then continued to play from when he went to save the girl. In this space, there were images and sounds everywhere. Even if he closed his eyes and covered his ears, the images would still appear in front of him.

In the end, Takeshi Yamamoto became numb. He listened to the sounds and looked at the images expressionlessly.

— Avu, I want to protect you.

Yamamoto Takeshi was taken aback. He stood up and walked towards the crack. He extended his fist and smashed it down with all his might.

He saw Tsunayoshi Shinoda's face full of trust and determination. He had regained control of his body.

Then, he was locked in again. The images continued to play, and the crack disappeared as if it had never been there.

"Bones of the Six Paths …" Yamamoto Takeshi muttered to himself. Then, with a resolute expression, he reached out and hammered the image in front of him with even more force than before. "When I get out, I'll definitely pull out all your hair!"

— I want to protect you too, Ah Gang!

Bang!

The space completely shattered. Takeshi Yamamoto regained control of his body.

What happened after that was self-evident. He adjusted the trajectory of the sword and stabbed himself, not letting the sword hurt Tsunayoshi Shinoda at all.

The world fell into darkness again. Takeshi Yamamoto felt himself being carefully moved. His wounds were simply bandaged. Even so, he was still stimulated by the pain and couldn't faint. Even if he fainted, it was only a faint one. It was really torturous.

He moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes. He saw Reborn who had finished bandaging his wounds.

"Thank you," he whispered.

"Old Driver, how does it feel to fail?"

Reborn glanced at him and looked at Tsunayoshi Shinoda. "Watch carefully. See how Foolish Principles grow."

Takeshi Yamamoto sighed. "… Okay."

As a result, it affected his wounds, but he endured it and didn't make a sound.

Reborn glanced at him again and clicked his tongue. The bandage that had just been bandaged was already dyed red.

Each and every one of them was really giving him a headache.

Tsunayoshi Shinoda finally defeated Rokudo. Looking at the fallen Rokudo, he didn't deactivate the Death Mode. He turned around and walked toward Takeshi Yamamoto.

Step by step, he finally stopped in front of the black-haired boy.

"I won," he said.

Takeshi Yamamoto showed a familiar smile. He raised his hand and stretched out his fist. "Ah Gang is great. He's already a hero."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda's golden red eyes shone even brighter. "Your hero?"

"He's everyone's hero," Takeshi Yamamoto corrected.

Tsunayoshi Shinoda felt an inexplicable sense of loss, but he still reached out his fist and bumped it with Reborn's.

"I'll try my best to make you say 'my hero'."

Takeshi Yamamoto grinned. "Okay."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda felt that all his courage had been used up. He deactivated the Death Mode and fell to the ground.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Takeshi Yamamoto smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "What's wrong, big hero?"

"Ouch!

It hurts! "

The exhaustion after the outburst was reflected in his body. Sasada Tsunayoshi cried out in pain, but he didn't say 'don't touch me'. In his heart, even if the other party touched him, he could use happiness to offset the pain.

Takeshi Yamamoto withdrew his hand and stopped touching him.

The chains rubbed against the ground with a dull sound. Everyone looked over and saw a few people covered in bandages walking toward them. They used the chains in their hands to tie up Rokudo and the others. They turned around and dragged the escaped prisoners away.

"Wait a minute!" Takeshi Yamamoto suddenly said. The bandaged people stopped and looked at him emotionlessly.

Reborn also looked at him. "They're avengers. You can't afford to provoke them."

"Just … wait a minute, just a minute."

Takeshi Yamamoto covered his wound and moved over. He came to Rokudo's side, then reached out to grab his hair and pulled it up forcefully!

Not just once, but a second and third time. In the end, he used both hands to pull out Rokudo's head, leaving only a big bald head that was bright enough to reflect light.

"Phew …" Takeshi Yamamoto wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said refreshingly, "Thank you, you can take him away now!"

The avengers: "…"

Reborn: "…"

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "…"

Takeshi Yamamoto, whose wish had been fulfilled, closed his eyes and rested peacefully. When he opened his eyes, he saw the scene when he first saw Pink Dumpling.

Beneath his feet was a vast universe. Before he could appreciate it, he heard Pink Dumpling's voice in his ear. "This is the first time you hurt yourself."

Takeshi Yamamoto was stunned and subconsciously touched his chest. "… Ah."

Pink Dumpling: "I've been through so many worlds. No matter what, I've never seen you point your sword at yourself."

"They're companions." Takeshi Yamamoto looked at the blue planet. "I want to protect them."

Pink Dumpling did not understand his mindset of rather being hurt than hurting his companions, so she spoke directly.

"You just have to complete the mission I gave you. You can ignore the others, but why do you have to hurt yourself?"

She asked in her mechanical voice. "You're going to leave after completing the mission anyway. You won't have anything to do with them. Why do you have to do this?"

"You're just collecting energy for me to save my sister. They're just strangers to you."

"So — why hurt yourself for strangers?"

There was no reply for a long time. Then, Pink Dumpling heard someone chuckling.

"Yeah, I'm just getting to know them to save my sister and to complete the mission. That's selfish, isn't it?

Anyway, I can leave after completing the mission. The world will use me as a blueprint and continue to live in my place. "

Takeshi Yamamoto's palm was facing up. A sparkling star floated up and down in his hand. "But …"

The smiles of his former companions appeared in his mind, the days he spent with them, and the scenes of him fighting side by side with them. He pushed the star away from his hand and let it return to the glittering stars of the galaxy.

"It's their greatest misfortune to know someone like me, and my greatest fortune to know them."

"Isn't it good to leave the best memories for each other?"

"Even if the world changes, I'll carry these memories with me and work hard."

Takeshi Yamamoto's ruthlessness and speed left a deep impression on everyone, especially the six hanging flowers. This person pressed Lord Prynne into the ground right under their noses like he was beating his own son. It was terrifying.

They subconsciously gulped and felt that they could still put up a fight.

Ling Lan: "Hey!

You … "

Takeshi Yamamoto: "Hmm?"

Ling Lan: "Sorry to disturb you!"

"Avu really … scared me." A familiar voice appeared out of nowhere.

This voice belonged to … Prynne!
